We start with a truck shuttle up Taylor Creek Road where you will unload and start to climb 8kms up Taylor Basin along Taylor Creek. This part of the South Chilcotins is especially breathtaking in the early summer. As you climb, you'll be encouraged to stop and admire the vast mountain passes and valleys that lie below - keep your eyes pealed for high alpine mountain goats. Once you reach the rustic Taylor Cabin and stop for a snack, you will head out again (climbing with a short section of pushing your bike for some) up to the top of the first epic pass, Windy Pass. The views from this point will take your breath away! After lunch, you will ride downhill through fast, winding singletrack leading to 7 kms more of smaller climbs and descents right to Spruce Lake. All of your camping equipment and personal items will be flown into Spruce Lake earlier in the day awaiting your arrival. After setting up camp, take a canoe out onto the beautiful Spruce Lake and see if you can catch (and release) one of it's infamous Rainbow Trout (please bring your own fishing equipment), or recap the day's ride over the camp's fire. Top off the day with a great night's sleep under the stars, dreaming of day tour of your Epic Passes Tour.
